You write while your AI stays in the margins.

Inklyne holds your whole novel or short-story collection, with its chapters, Matière and versions. Your own AI reads each chapter for structure, stakes and characters, and leaves its notes in the margins. It won't rewrite a line, but you will.

One story, held across forty chapters and several months.

Built for the distance, not the sprint

A novel is won over months, not in a burst of inspiration. Most tools are built for a single document; they buckle the moment your story grows a cast, a timeline and forty chapters. Inklyne is built around the long game.

  1. The whole book, in view

    Chapters and scenes in one tree: reorder by dragging, draft out of sequence, keep the shape of the whole in view. Bring in a draft (Markdown, DOCX, ODT) and it is split into chapters; export the book whenever you want.

  2. Matière, which remembers

    Characters, places and events linked to your text, and a timeline to place them on. The colour of a character's eyes in chapter three is one click away, not a re-read.

  3. Prima Lectio, chapter by chapter

    It reads a chapter against craft criteria, quotes your sentences and tells you what holds and what snags. Not a grade, and never a rewritten line.

  4. Momentum you can see

    A word-count goal, timed, interval or open sessions, and a manuscript that fills in. Versions are saved on the server; every session end keeps a durable one you can restore.

Your questions about writing a novel

All questions
You connect Claude to your Inklyne account in two minutes, and Inklyne walks you through the setup; a free Claude account usually covers one or two chapter readings a day. Your AI then reads each chapter with Prima Lectio, against craft criteria, and tells you what holds, what snags and why, instead of giving you a grade.
